Hey, why not throw em back if you're not going to eat it. No sense in ruining a great pike fishery for the people that like catching them.Just saying.
Because they are an invasive species, that’s why. Though there are many other invasived that the state introduced and have regulations for, these fish were all illegally introduced from the start. I agree there May be no going back, but doesn’t mean we should be Promoting them. I’ve caught them in a few places, and released them since it’s really a far gone warm water fishery. But every one I’ve caught in the Sebago watershed has been fed to eagles.
Please remember to kill all pike you catch this year Thanks in advance.
Boy...you guys out east. Bluegill, Crappie, Musky, Pike ? Is there any fish there that isn't invasive? I'll take every one of those you catch.
I love that the invasive trout can stay....but not the scary pike.....lol If you really want their population to go down start sharing pike recipes so people want to keep them.
At least we don’t see goldfish and koi everywhere we fish lol.
Don't give anyone ideas! LOL! Now the great state of CT has declared common carp (goldfish) a gamefish and established C&R only areas where they hold big money tourneys. I admit it's fun to catch 20-30+ pound fish from shore, but now guys are getting a little carried away. In Europe where the carp fishing craze started, they name exceptionally big fish which get caught repeatedly throughout their lives. When one dies the fish gets a memorial service. Really.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11745089/End-of-the-line-for-giant-carp-Two-Tone-after-body-rejected-by-Natural-History-Museum.html
Sabattus fish are full of heavy metals. The more fish that are caught and fed to the eagles, crows,Ravens the cleaner the lake will be over a long period.
